Glenroy College AFL Academy

Program Aims:

The Glenroy College AFL Academy is built on our college values of Integrity, Achievement, Teamwork, and Respect. We promote a culture where excellence is pursued through commitment, collaboration, and personal growth—preparing students for success in sport, education, and life beyond school.

Program outline

The program allows students to access specialised curriculum and high-level coaching to support their development into responsible and knowledgeable elite AFL players.

How to Apply

Applications open to all Year 8 students at the end of Term 2 for a year 9 start.

Students must complete a written application and submit a written reference from a Coach or Teacher who supports their application.

Each application is assessed on sporting, behavioural and academic merit, as well as attendance.

Successful students must represent the school, the academy, and themselves by participating in all aspects of school life to the best of their ability.

Unsuccessful applicants can re-apply if a place in the academy becomes available, and each application will be assessed on the same criteria as above.
